My first launches were horrid but I later found out that it was probably due to needind a LOT of right aileron trim. Never noticed this till it was in the air flying though! Kind of chicken and egg - I nearly chickened and got someone else to throw it, nearly

Haha, if you don't get it powered in time the worst that could happen is a low speed rough landing. I actually once had someone throw it for me and it made it harder.

Has anyone built this from the bare airframe? I bought a new airframe and the nose on my old one broke, so tomorrow i will be transferring the electronics and gluing the fins and everything. Just wondering if anyone has done it before and if theres anything to look out for

If you think the UM Stryker is dangerous to launch under power my ritewings would scare you to death. Imagine a 6X4 APC sport prop spinning at 42,000 rpm and hand launching it

Geez I "Miss Launched Only once because i got Careless and the prop actually STOPPED. I had to throttle down and then it re-armed don`t know if this is a Saftey thing or if it was a "Fluke" throttle this baby up and give it a good chuck with a good follow through. with a Plane like this I don`t mind if i get a Nip every 1000th throw
